IBM SG24-4763-00 Emergency Repair Disk ERD, Adding New Components to the System, Don′t Forget

This soft copy for use by IBM employees only.

Figure 124. Encryption Components in the Service Pack. If you use 128-bit encryption, you should click on Cancel in order not to overwrite the encryption files.

If you choose not to install the encryption components, you will gain some security benefits in a secure C2 environment. Either choice does not have any impact on the functionality of your server.

C.2 Emergency Repair Disk (ERD)

If it is necessary to use the Windows NT ERD to repair your Windows NT system after you apply the service pack, you will need to re-apply the service pack after the repair has completed.

The ERD repairs your system by restoring your original Windows NT Setup information, which subsequently changed, thus resulting in the need to re-apply the service pack. After the repair has completed, simply follow the above installation instructions to re-apply the service pack.

It is advisable to update your ERD after you make any changes to the system.

You can do this by running RDISK.EXE from the \WINNT\SYSTEM32\ directory.

C.3 Adding New Components to the System

If new software or hardware components are changed or added to your system after you have applied the service pack, it will be necessary to re-apply the service pack. This is because the files taken from the original Windows NT disk set may not be equivalent to the files on the service pack disk set.

It is not possible to install new components directly from the Service Pack media (such as a new keyboard or printer driver); they must be installed from the original product media.

Don′t Forget!

Remember to recreate the emergency repair disk.
